Food is great for the first couple of bites, but the gets extremely salty. Is anyone's else's food like this too? We had the ultimate shawarma bowl read more

I love it here! Friendly staff and the food is so good and so filling! You get a lot of food for what u pay for. The falafel burger is so freaking good. Also I'm chronically obsessed with the lemonades specifically the pomegranate lemonade like I fr went and got 4 of them at once bc I couldn't hold back lol read more

I went here for the first time today and absolutely loved this bowl and the amount of toppings!! The spices were really good and I really enjoyed the ease of choices when it came to the bowl. I wish there were more locations near me but I will definitely be back! read more

Go to Cava. This place is overpriced and honestly not that great. Cava just opened on s. Victoria has the same options and a few bucks cheaper. read more

Wow! The best place for some fresh healthy food!! It's like CAVA but BETTER! I got a bowl with a whole bunch of yummy things. I also ordered that starburst and pomegranate lemonade. The bowl was big enough for left overs:) read more

I wanted to try this place to compare it to Luna Grill. It seemed similar but also a good, fast place for Mediterranean food. I had the spicy shawarma bowl and enjoyed all of the ingredients included. The chicken had good texture and the vegetables were all fresh. The food was prepared quick despite the time of day being lunch, and the interior of the of the place was modern. read more

I'm so glad I checked this place out. My daughter and I walked into a completely empty restaurant. The restaurant inside was clean and well lit. All of the ingredients that they offer for your wraps and sandwiches were very fresh. The service was quick, and the servers even offered suggestions. The real star of the night was the Tahini Milkshake! I was very skeptical on trying it, but after one sip I WAS SOLD! I will definitely be back to order another one of these. read more

Continue to love the food here at Hummus Republic. It is consistently good and I love getting the half lemon chicken and half chicken shawarma bowl. So many fresh ingredients and generous on the portion. It's around $15 but I generally get twoish meals out of it. The staff are always friendly and everything always appears and tastes fresh. Really love having them so close to me as a relatively healthy lunch/dinner option! read more

My husband and I were looking for a vegan food place near us and we found hummus Republic. I was depressed by how good the food was. I really like the Earth burger, which is basically falafel sandwich. We also got the bowls, both with falafel and some add-ons. I wasn't too impressed with that. I felt that it was plain. I was return here. read more

I've been wanting to try this since a friend (Thank you Berta!) recommend. What a refreshing lunch! I really waked to try the rice but they didn't have any tasty to I got the couscous, spring lettuce, 3 different hummus, lemon chicken and there dressing. I told the lady that it was my first time and she was really nice explaining how to order and explaining the options I had. read more

I really like this place. It's new idea and type of food for Ventura. It's like if Chipotle and Luna Grill had a baby. You walk in and are able to build a bowl or a gyro with select options. They have different meats, hummus, add ons, and sauces to choose from. The staff has always been helpful and nice. I feel like it's 50/50 you've either never been in there and have no idea how to order or you're an old pro. You started with a base - greens, couscous, or garbanzos beans. Next is hummus and you can choose up to four types I believe. Personally I love the harissa. It's like a spicy hummus. Then there protein- falafel, gyro, mushroom or two kinds of chicken. I personally really like the chicken shawarma. There are so many toppings you can add but I'm basic so I just do feta cheese crumbles and artichoke hearts. Lastly is the sauce - my favorite is the tzatziki! The bowl is actually pretty massive and enough for me for two meals. I think it's a good deal for the cost. Their falafels are delicious and very fresh tasting too ! read more

Hummus Republic is a Mediterranean restaurant that sells healthy, refreshing deliciousness in a form of a bowl, wrap, or pita. Since there is no CAVA in Ventura county, it's nice to know that hummus republic offers a similar take on food and it's also a cheaper option! I specifically got the chicken spinach wrap. I was able to mix and match two different proteins which were the lemon chicken and chicken shawarma. The chicken shawarma was a little dry, but the lemon chicken made up for it. You can choose up to 3 hummus. I decided to just stick with the harissa hummus and that had a good heat and flavor. You can also choose however much toppings you want. I really like how they pack the wrap! They are super generous. I had a good time eating here. I would come back again to try their bowl and try out their other options! read more

Great portions. I don't like that there's a few items you have to pay extra for like mushrooms and a hot pepper . Unlike Cava, they are more generous here . Food is about the same quality , I feel Cava has better flavor , but service at Cava is a hit or miss. Hummus Rebublic always has great service . read more

I love this place!!!! If you're looking for something quick, fresh, healthy, and well priced, this is it! I loooove doing the build your own bowl. I love the lemon chicken and chicken shawarma. I prefer the traditional hummus. I've had the harissa hummus before and just fair warning it's really spicy. I also looooove their sweet potato fries!! For $14, I feel like you get a lot of food in the bowl. Also you can't beat the quality - everything is ALWAYS fresh! I've been ordering pick up here when I'm running errands in Ventura. The food is always ready in 10 min or less. Staff is very friendly. I also like how they package pick up orders. This will continue to be my go-to spot when I'm on the go! read more

Thank you Miguel for helping me with my order today! Miguel was so helpful since it was my first time there I was trying to decide on what toppings I wanted on my bowl and he helped me out! Plus he gave me an extra side of dressing to try! I decided to go with a bowl. I added couscous for the base, kale, lemon chicken, beets, cucumbers, olives and dolmas ( those are extra 2 for $1). For the dressing I went with roasted red pepper! I like spicy food, but boy this one was spicy! I think I'll try a different kind next time. Everything was so fresh and exactly what I was craving! Everything was clean and even though I didn't eat there, it looks like it's a nice place to enjoy your meal. read more

My only reason I'm knocking off a star is the consistency. I went a second time and ordered the same thing but the second time they loaded the fire bowl with the hot sauce instead of on the side and it was way too spicey. First time it was great because I was able to add just enough for a nice kick. But this place is delicious!! read more

This place is great! Every time I've gone everything is delicious and fresh, This time I got the pita to go but I've had the bowl in the past, it's a small spot and service is great read more

I had made a review but now this place sucks. We went in and ordered. 5 people ahead of us got their order first. The girl is reallllllllllyyyyy slow. I went to give my fries back because they were cold and the three came out, the two girls and one guy. While I was leaving they started talking about me I could see them talking and looking. I was mad! Yeah because it was $30!? And I waited for my food after I had ordered on the tablet. 5 people ahead of us got their order first when they had ordered after us. Unorganized and should be fired. NAH I JUST LOOKED AT MY WRAP AND IT HAS THE CABBAGE WHEN I SAID NO CABBAGE. FIRE THE GUY!!!!!! read more

This spot is so FIRE and exactly the kind of healthier option that we needed on this side of Ventura. My friends and I had been eyeing this spot since it opened and finally a girlfriend and I were able to sneak in for a quick lunch on a cold rainy day. Because of the weather it was perfect and not too busy inside but still clearly popular seeing as they are a new businesses. There were a few people ahead of us in line and half of the tables were taken inside. Glad this place has already developed a following. The menu was self explanatory and really helpful to review before ordering. Also I appreciate that all of the ingredients are laid out and labeled as you navigate from start to finish at the counter so that made it easier too when putting together your food. I liked the ordering system and that everything is custom made and fresh. You can opt for a bow, sandwich, wrap, or salad. A lot of variety. For protein I went with the gyro meat which is a $3 up charge but it was delicious and I've just always loved that lamb/beef mix. My friend got a half and half of the chicken, one was plain and the other was a lemon chicken. She said that protein was delicious but next time she'd go with full lemon chicken as it was much more flavorful than the regular chicken. For my order I got a spinach wrap and the primary greens added were spinach. Then went with gyro meat and some tasty topping like onions, cucumber, beets, and sauces. They added two different hummus at the beginning and then I got their cucumber white sauce and tahini. A super flavorful and delicious healthy meal. This place will definitely become a new staple for me when looking for filling healthier options. The primary meal was a 5/5. For sides I'd personally skip the sweet potato fries. They aren't made fresh to order and were sitting up on the heater tray, so they were only lukewarm. Also I'm not a fan of the big cris cross fries so another reason I'd pass. The main meal is filling enough we realized we really didn't need a side. They have some tasty drinks and I went with one of their lemonades and that hit the spot. The staff here are extremely nice and friendly. I'd honestly come back again as the staff were super stellar here and clearly excited about the new business and guiding you through crafting your perfect plate. They never made me feel rushed as I navigated the new menu and they were super helpful with suggestions. They gave good portions and were accommodating when I asked if they could cut my wrap in half. They also went the extra mile to check on us throughout our meal to see if we were enjoying everything and would throw away our trash or get us items we needed. For a fast to go type of a restaurant I am impressed that the service was as good, if not better, than some restaurants are. Definitely A+ in the service department for sure. This location is easily accessible and has plenty of parking but I would recommend not coming during rush hours because I can see this spot is already growing in popularity. The inside was super clean and comfortable for dining in. All in all hummus republic is a solid yelp 5-stars from me all day long and I hope you'll check them out. read more

Hummus Republic - Mushroom shawarma & falafel bowl :) - Mediterranean Near Me - Ventura, California

I have tried severalndifferent items here on three different occasions and been disappointed I like flavored hummus, but the choices did not appeal to me and the spicy one was way too spicy. I tried the vegetarian Shawarma, which was shredded mushroom, but it had a very strange flavor. The falafel wrap I had would have been good if the falafel were fresh, but they tasted old . I was hoping for a nice vegetarian plate, but you have to buy everything à la carte read more

One of our new fav places! The chicken shawarma bowl is delicious and a great post workout refuel! I like it with red onion, olives, and cucumber, doused in the drinkable tzatziki read more

Hummus Republic is excellent. The food is healthy and the service is great. The range of foods and drinks is also impressiv. I love this place. read more

Miguel made the experience of ordering somewhere new easy friendly and heartfelt with good recommendations to the extent I will be coming back. If he's not the store manager yet he has a future being one with his customer service skills. Food was outstanding and I think the combinations he helped me put together added to that significantly. Will be a return customer. read more

A very good selection sort of like a chipotle of hummus. I put together a bowl which had a good selection. it's sort of like putting together a Poké bowl. Mediterranean style service was good. People were friendly. Location was nice and it was a good spot to stop after doing some shopping in the area. read more

Food and service were great. Pricing was reasonable. I'm never really thrilled with kiosk ordering, but i guess it's here to stay. Mostly i knocked off one star because it's freezing to sit inside and windy to sit outside. Admittedly no one is at fault. Five stars if you're doing take away and eating it at home read more

After trying Hummus Republic a few times I do find myself coming back again. Firstly, it's like a chipotle for Mediterranean food. You get to pick your base, protein and toppings. I usually get a bowl because I don't like to use my hands to eat. I got the couscous and chickpeas for the base, and all the salad greens as well. I usually get the lemon chicken. I've tried the chicken schwarma before but it wasn't for me because I tend to like things lighter in flavor, but others may like it though. I've also tried the falafels dipped in tzatziki sauce, and it tasted really good. After they scoop all the toppings in, the amount of food you get is quite a lot, I was very full after finishing it. Now for the not so great part. As the employee was scooping the food into my bowl, anything that fell on to the counter they either scooped it into my bowl or just back into whatever container it belongs to. Although the employee wore gloves I'm not sure how clean the counter is. This has happened twice before. Even so, I did eat all of it and was ok afterwards. So I will still go back because the food is pretty good and prices are reasonable. read more

Hummus Republic - Bowl with Lemon chicken and toppings - Mediterranean Near Me - Ventura, California

Cashier was pretty rude, food was very good though. However, I would say that this is one of the spots that skimps out on protein options. The environment is pretty bland too it felt like i was eating Mediterranean food in a box with fancy lights. read more

They messed up my Uber eats order, completely forgot to give us a whole bowl. They tried to blame it on the driver saying he stole it, but the bag was stapled, so how could he have stolen it? Called the store directly, they were of ZERO help. Took my number to call me back and never did. Terri me customer service. read more

I wanted to like it here. Although, the service was rushed for some reason and the store was empty? I picked the falafel bowl and they were good. Although, the sauces and the hummus were all very salty. The dolmas tastes like they were mayo coated and the grape leaf was tough with the rice. I paid extra for that. I wanted artichokes and they were extra too. The bowl ran me over $16. The only vegetarian option was falafel unless you wanted to pay a up charge again for mushrooms. Pretty pricey. read more

Definitely would not go back, menu seems appealing. Service was great. But the kids menu was terrible. I order the chicken sandwhich and chicken strips with sweet potato fries. Food was so dry it was hard to even chew, kids obviously didn't eat it. I'm guessing the fries sit all day, heated and aren't made fresh to order. Would not go back again. read more

Hummus Republic - Make your own bowl ... chickpeas, spinach, chicken shawarma, and lots of toppings - Mediterranean Near Me - Ventura, California

I'm not normally a Mediterranean girl, but Hummus Republic was delicious! It's basically a Mediterranean Chipotle. I went for a lunch date since it's somewhere I wanted to try and I hadn't been there yet. We went around lunch, inside was very clean and the music was amazing! Our server was very patient with me, I ordered the bowl. They walk you through creating your bowl...base, salad, hummus choices, meat, dressing, and toppings. I got the rice base, garden salad, the three most popular hummus choices, chicken, etc. We ordered one of their lemonades and sat outside. Impressions on the bowl - delicious! But there is SO much food in one serving. I am normally a good eater but the serving was humongous! However, all of the flavors were so good together, it was a great bowl overall and I enjoyed it very much. Very delicious! I think it would be more effective if there wasn't such a large serving but it's okay - leftovers! read more

Came to try this spot today as it was recommended by a friend of mine. As I walked in , hot air smacked me in the face. I made a joke with the server , ' aren't you guys hot back there? ' she replied yes it's like we're in a sauna. How bizarre to be aware of a problem & not fix it? During a heat wave and no ac for the customers or workers ??? I don't understand how people are okay with working or eating in those conditions. It was too uncomfortable to eat inside so we took it to go. Wish the environment was more enjoyable. Food was ok. read more

Hummus yeah!! Fantastic spot in Ventura to get some healthy Mediterranean food. I can't believe I hadn't reviewed this spot yet. It is one of my favorite restaurants right now and I can't wait to go back to it. My go-to is the bowl with basmati rice as a base, kale, chicken shawarma, feta hummus, olive hummus, traditional hummus, red onion, cucumber, corn, feta cheese, olives, tahini, and tzatziki. Also the portions are very generous, you won't be disappointed! Go get your bowl today. read more

Hummus Republic - Mediterranean Near Me - Ventura, California

We started coming here when they first opened and we loved it. However, once they started up-charging for certain foods and sauces we have noticed a difference in not just the food portion but with customer service lacking as well. This is not the same place we first fell in love with. The person that helped us tonight seemed annoyed that we were there and definitely did not make us feel welcomed. With the up-charges and poor customer service, we might not be coming back anytime soon. read more

We just had a really bad experience here. Unfriendly staff, who honestly seemed just unhappy in their jobs. Perhaps they are being held there against their will. Hummus is a Levantine specialty, invented and perfected by palestinian, Syrian + Lebanese people. It is bastardized here with unusual flavors, offensive texture and off putting taste. I was excited to see the mushroom shawarma option. I opted for the upcharge because I love mushrooms prepared in inventive ways. These were unfortunately served cold, too tough to chew and, again, had an off putting taste. I could only eat a few bites and lost my appetite. Save your money and find an authentic middle eastern restaurant run by warm Levantine people with delicious food! This is not the spot. I hope the staff is soon set free. read more
